My Heart Is Just Melting!...And So Close To Valentine's Day!

Hello everyone!!! Today is February 13th, the day before Valentine's Day, and it is also cycle day 17 for me. When I woke up this morning I didn't know that this day would be so good. Yesterday my skin was really bumming me out. I was breaking out with 2 cystic acne bumps, one on my right cheek and another on the left side of my chin. I was thinking to myself how I would have to make myself a dermatology appointment tomorrow to get the little buggers taken care of with cortisone injections. For the past week are so I have been doing my usual routine...waking up, going to work, making sure I didn't drink a thing and around 10am going to the bathroom to check my ovulation for the day. This past week wasn't that great. I hadn't ovulated and my doctors appointment kinda blew. Well today was going to change that! When I woke up this morning I made my breakfast, took my prenatal vitamin and one of my Metformin pills. I made sure the only thing I drank was the bit of water I used to swallow my pills. I knew I was going to check for ovulation and I didn't want to dilute my urine. Around 11:45 am I went to the bathroom and collected my urine in a cup. I currently have 2 different types of ovulation strips. The first ones are my cheap-o ones I ordered off of Amazon.com and I also have some First Response ones. The First Response ones are a lot more expensive then the Amazon ones and I don't get as many of them. My plan was to use my cheap strips everyday and if I got what I thought was a positive reading then I would use my First Response ones to confirm it. Well as soon as I dipped my cheap strip in the urine I watched as the urine got absorbed up the strip. I could quickly see the result line darkening. I waited for about 5 minutes and this is what I saw....

I yelled out to Nick who was in the living room watching Tommy Boy, "I think I'm ovulating!!!!!!!!" Since I thought this was a definite positive I went ahead and dipped the First Response strip, and this is what I saw...

I know this picture isn't that great but the left line is the result line and the right one is the control line. My left line is actually a bit darker and thicker then the control line (I know you all may not be able to tell that by the picture, sorry) So obviously Nick and I BD and plan on trying again tonight, tomorrow morning and evening, and probably the next day after that just to make sure. Seeing that I am ovulating makes me so happy because I was so worried that I wouldn't and also because I did not take my Clomid this cycle, per my doctor's advice since I got that weird sporadic cycle last time. It feels good to know I can ovulate on my own as long as I take my Metformin like I should 3 times a day. This ovulation also explains the cystic acne issue I'm currently having, but knowing I am ovulating the cystic acne can bring it on! It defiantly makes it easier to deal with! Well I will talk to you soon! Here's to the 2 week wait!!
